NEW PRODUCT: Limtoys 1/6 Scale GUNSLINGER OUTLAWS OF THE WEST

Just got my invoice, so excited! It's been a long time coming.

That's good. The Limtoys rep on Collector Freaks got sick of people asking dumb questions. I hope you get him in hand soon.

Yeah I saw, I get it. All they were doing was asking every week when it'd come out when he just answered that he'd pass on news when there were development. I do appreciate him keeping us updated though about progress, which you don't often get even with bigger companies like hot toys.

Yeah, there were a couple people over there that were driving me nuts with that crap. I don't seriously know why some of these poor reps even put up with coming to the boards, but I do appreciate getting inside information.

Yeah, I felt like Yoda! "Patience!"

Nothing on a thread with slow news is more annoying than spammed replies with "Any news!?".

All i gotta say is " So much stuff !"

haha, taking my time to go through everything, but here are a few quick pics so far.

Oh, man! Now that is how to put together an impressive action figure package! Look at all that cool stuff!

What a great set, loaded with so many goodies.

I'm a sucker for accessories so it looks pretty good to me.

Both versions are an exceptional array of stuff, the most "1/6 West in a Box" since Marx.    LIM has lots of goodies, but the VT actually has even more stuff, and unique quirky items like the coonskin cap, fishing pole and fish.  The LIM compensates with the increased hair/beard options.  So they're both terrific (doesn't have to be a competition).  If there were only one of these made, I'd probably have bought a double, so for me getting both is a no-brainer. Been enjoying the VT, hoping to get the Lim.

For convenience, here's the side to side:

I agree, MBAM. I have the VTS version, and since I don’t have a vested interest at all in the game, but a vested interest in quality Western figures, it certainly fits the bill. But, I do have two sets of the LIM Toys coming. I plan to use parts from all of them to make a mini-me and use the heads and other parts to make Villain Brothers. There’s plenty to like about both versions, and I’m hoping that either LIM or VTS continues with more characters from the game, just for more variety.

pew pew pew






Edit: just wanted to add, when you get the figure in, be extra careful of the spurs, they are super fragile. I think it's just clipped in but one of them keeps popping out and finding that tiny spur is a pain in the arse. I had similar difficulties on a similar item, the cowgirl boots from tbleague cowgirl. Those ones popped out easy too and took me forever to find it afterwards haha. Be forwarned. I may end up gluing it in or taking the spurs off.

Looks great, Craig!

This figure has been an all time home run for Limtoys. Happiness all round. When could the same be said of an HT or SSC!?

It's been a long time. Not to mention when was the last time an HT or SSC came with this much stuff? And didn't cost $400+?

Wow he turned out great!!

Yeah, a long time, I think they may give them something to think about.

A look at some of the heads.

Oh there's also the coat too I didnt show yet. You can kitbash a few figures with one set easily! I am putting together a second one with the coat atm. The one on the far left is sporting the longcoat, boots, stachel, rifle and bearded sculpt also from set.

I recognize the sheriff.

Hehe, he took a side job from your collection.

Just watched the video, Craig, very nice. Where did you get "just the head"? Or was it actually part of the whole set?

So when they first announced the set, it showed that it came with a clean shaven head and a fully bearded head (the two at the end of the video), but then fans asked for a mid beard head. They then offered the mid beard head as a separate purchase. It comes with just the face part, but the hair pieces that come with the set fit on it. I presume you could probably fill it in as well and make something rooted if you wish but the head alone does not have the hair piece, only an extra neck connector.

They switched it up a bit i think from the prototype but the set comes with 4 hair pieces altogether, 2 mid length and 2 longer hair. One of each version has a notch for the cowboy hat, so that's why there is 2 of each.

Thanks for the info. I might try to find one. Hairing it sounds like an added bonus. Probably too late.

Man, seeing all the photos here and at the Freaks, is making me practically salivate in anticipation of getting both of my sets. I already have the mid-beard head, and one of two boxed sets is on the way from Kit — though tracking shows it’s been sitting at the airport waiting to depart for over a week.

"You don't get to live a bad life and have good things happen to you."

Very cool shot. Love the moody atmosphere. Nicely done.

Thanks Mark. I tried the HD monitor shot behind the figure method. Realized my PS4 only plays at 1080 though so it's a little blurry.

Here's my unboxing video. No commentary at the moment to just enjoy the music. (ok, I haven't finished editing the commentary part) Sorry it's a bit long though, there are a ton of accessories, but you won't have my voice droning over the video haha.

It's still a very nice shot, Craig. You can display some other, high-resolution farm or western image as opposed to a screen cap from the game. Nice video (and music choice), too. Such a rich set.

Oh man, that's a great idea! I'll have to search for some high res pictures now!
